“Delete Entry”

Use the Delete Entry command to delete one
entry from the phonebook. After the system
acknowledges a command, say the name to
delete or say “List Names” to choose an entry.

“List Names”

Use the List Names command to hear all the
names in the phonebook. The system recites the
phonebook entries but does not include the
actual phone numbers. When playback of the
list is complete, the system returns to the main

For phones that support automatic download of

the phonebook (PBAP Bluetooth profile), the
“Phonebook” command is used to manage
entries to the vehicle phonebook. You can say
the name of an entry at this menu to initiate
dialing of that entry.

The phonebook stores up to 1000 names for
each phone paired with the system. Each name
can have up to 4 locations/phone numbers
associated with it.

When a phone is connected to the system, the
phonebook is automatically downloaded to the
vehicle. This feature allows you to access your
phonebook from the Bluetooth

system and call

contacts by name. You can record a custom
voice tag for contact names that the system has
difficulty recognizing. For more information see
“Record Name” in this section.

NOTE:

Each phone has its own separate phone-
book. You cannot access Phone A’s phone-
book if you are currently connected with
Phone B.

“List names”

Use the List Names command to hear all the
names and locations in the phone book.

The system recites the phone book entries but
does not include the actual phone numbers.
When the playback of the list is complete, the

system goes back to the main menu.

You can stop the playback of the list at any time
by pressing the

button on the steering

wheel. The system ends the VR session. See the
“Record Name” command in this section for
information about recording custom voice tags
for list entries that the system has difficulty
pronouncing.

“Record name”

The system allows you to record custom voice
tags for contact names in the phonebook that
the vehicle has difficulty recognizing. This
feature can also be used to record voice tags
to directly dial an entry with multiple numbers.
Up to 40 voice tags can be recorded to the
system.

“Next Name”

Use the Next Name command to move the next
name of list.

“Previous Name”

Use the Previous Name command to move the
previous name of list.

Use the Select Phone command to select from a
list of phones connected to the vehicle. The
system will list the names assigned to each
phone and then prompt you for the phone you
wish to select. Only one phone can be active at
a time.

“Delete Phone”

Use the Delete Phone command to delete a
phone that is connected to the vehicle. The
system will list the names assigned to each
phone and then prompt you for the phone you
wish to delete. Deleting a phone from the vehicle
will also delete that phonebook for that phone.

“Bluetooth Off”

Use the Bluetooth Off command to prevent a
wireless connection to your phone.

“Replace phone”

This can be used to reconnect a new phone with
the vehicle you have changed your cellular
phone.

SPEAKER ADAPTATION (SA) MODE

Speaker Adaptation allows up to two out-of
dialect users to train the system to improve
recognition accuracy. By repeating a number of
commands, the users can create a voice model
of their own voice that is stored in the system.
The system is capable of storing a different
speaker adaptation model for each connected
phone.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

The system should respond correctly to all voice commands without difficulty. If problems are encountered, try the following solutions.

Where the solutions are listed by number, try each solution in turn, starting with number 1, until the problem is resolved.

Symptom

Solution

The system fails to interpret the command correctly.

1. Ensure that the command is valid. See “List of voice commands” (P.4-91).

2. Ensure that the command is spoken after the tone.

3. Speak clearly without pausing between words and at a level appropriate to the ambient noise level in the vehicle.

4. Ensure that the ambient noise level is not excessive (for example, windows open or defroster on). NOTE: If it is too
noisy to use the phone, it is likely that the voice commands will not be recognized.

5. If more than one command was said at a time, try saying the commands separately.

6. If the system consistently fails to recognize commands, the voice training procedure should be carried out to
improve the recognition response for the speaker. See “Speaker Adaptation (SA) mode” (P.4-95).

The system consistently selects the wrong entry from
the phonebook.

1. Ensure that the phonebook entry name requested matches what was originally stored. This can be confirmed by
using the “List Names” command. See “Phonebook (phones without automatic phonebook download function)”
(P.4-93).

2. Replace one of the names being confused with a new name.

NISSAN Voice Recognition allows hands-free
operation of the Phone, Navigation, Information
and Audio systems in one of two modes,
Standard Mode or Alternate Command Mode.

In Standard Mode, commands that are available
are always shown on the display and announced
by the system. You can complete your desired
operation by simply following the prompts given
by the system. (See “NISSAN voice recognition
Standard Mode” (P.4-99) for details.)

For advanced operation, you can use the
Alternate Command Mode. (See “NISSAN voice
recognition Alternate Command Mode” (P.4-
109) for details.) When this mode is active, an
expanded list of commands can be spoken after
pushing the TALK

switch, and the voice

command menu prompts are turned off. Review
the expanded command list, which is available
when this mode is active. Note that in this mode
the recognition success rate may be affected as
the number of available commands and the ways
of speaking each command are increased.

To switch one mode to another, see each mode
description later in this section.

To improve the recognition success rate when
Alternate Command Mode is active, try using the
Speaker Adaptation Function available in that
mode. Otherwise, it is recommended that
Alternate Command Mode be turned off and

Standard Mode be used for the best recognition
performance.

For the voice commands for the navigation
system, refer to the Navigation System Owner’s
Manual of your vehicle.

For Roadster models:

The voice recognition system cannot be oper-
ated when the soft top is not closed.

USING THE SYSTEM

Initialization

When the ignition switch is pushed to the ON
position, NISSAN Voice Recognition is initia-
lized, which may take up to one minute. When
completed, the system is ready to accept voice
commands. If the TALK

switch is pushed

before the initialization completes, the display
will show the message: “System not ready.” or a
beep sounds.

Before starting

To get the best recognition performance from
NISSAN Voice Recognition, observe the follow-
ing:

The interior of the vehicle should be as quiet
as possible. Close the windows to eliminate
the surrounding noises (traffic noise and
vibration sounds, etc.), which may prevent
the system from correctly recognizing the
voice commands.

Wait until the tone sounds before speaking a
command.

Speak in a natural conversational voice
without pausing between words.

If the air conditioner is set to “Auto”, the fan
speed is automatically lowered so that your
commands can be recognized more easily.

SAA2167

Giving voice commands

1. Push the TALK

switch located on the

steering wheel.

2. A list of commands appears on the screen,

and you will hear a prompt.

3. After the tone sounds and the icon on the

screen changes from

, speak a

command.

Selecting the “Practice” key will start the
practice mode. See “Let’s Practice” (P.4-
101).

4. Continue to follow the voice menu prompts

and speak after the tone sounds until your
desired operation is completed.

Selecting the “Help” key can display the
detailed information of the each command.

Operating tips:

Say a command after the tone.

Commands that are available are always
shown on the display and spoken through
voice menu prompts. Commands other than
those that are displayed are not accepted.
Please follow the prompts given by the
system.

If the command is not recognized, the
system announces, “Please say again”.
Repeat the command in a clear voice.

Push the BACK button once to return to the
previous screen.

To exit the voice recognition system, push

switch. The mes-

sage, “Voice canceled” will be announced.

Voice Prompt Interrupt:

To skip the voice guidance function and give the
command immediately, push the TALK
switch to interrupt the system. Remember to
speak after the tone.

How to speak numbers:

NISSAN Voice Recognition requires a certain
way to speak numbers when giving voice
commands. Refer to the following examples.

Condition:

(267,1)

[ Edit: 2016/ 2/ 22

Model: 2017MY NISSAN 370Z(Z34) OM17E00Z34U0 ]

General rule

Only single digits 0 (zero) to 9 can be used. (For
example, if you would like to say 500, “five zero
zero” can be used, but “five hundred” cannot.)

Examples

1-800-662-6200

— “One eight zero zero six six two six two

zero zero”

Improving Recognition of Phone numbers

You can improve the recognition of phone
numbers by saying the phone number in three
groups of numbers. For example, when you try to
call 800-662-6200, say “eight zero zero” first,
and the system will then ask you for the next
three digits. Then, say “six six two”. After
recognition, the system will then ask for the last
four digits. Say, “six two zero zero”. Using this
method of phone digit entry can improve
recognition performance.

When speaking a house number, speak the
number “0” as “zero”. If the letter “o (Oh)” is
included in the house number, it will not be
recognized as the number “0 (zero)” even if you
speak “oh” instead of “zero”. Please speak
“zero” for the number “0 (zero)”, “oh” for
the letter “o (oh)”

Send digits using dial tone:

Push the TALK

switch during a phone

call.

The menu will be launched and you will be
provided with the following guidance:
"Please say the digits to dial".

After guidance, say the digits of the number
you want to send. After this, the digits that
have been recognized will be read out.

If you push the ENTER button on the
steering wheel or on the multi-function
controller, the selected digits will be sent.

Note:

You can also speak “800-662-6200” (10
continuous digits) or “662-6200” (7 con-
tinuous digits), if the area code is not
necessary. However, the 3-3-4 digit group-
ing is recommended for improved recogni-
tion. (See “How to say numbers” (P.4-89).)

You can only say a phone number using the
3-3-4 grouping, 7 digits, and 10 digits using
this command. Please use the “International

Call” command for all other formats.

If you say “Change Number” during phone
number entry, the system will automatically
request that you repeat the number using
the 3-3-4 format. In this case please say the
area code first and then follow the prompts.

Do not add a “1” in front of the area code
when speaking phone numbers.

If the system does not recognize your
command, please try repeating the com-
mand using a natural voice. Speaking too
slow or too loudly may further decrease
recognition performance.
